It ti chared by Mr Chase that "Judg-i Mean's nam.; was not before the Philadelphia Conv eiitinn "-and lie assigns as a reason, that it was "apparent that the Convention had assembled, not so much to nominate a candidate for the Presidency ,aa to ratify a nom.nalion already made. And the Secretary of Slate is referred lo for information on this head. We ask the Secretary of Slate if these alienations of Mr Chase are trutt Our inquiry is not answered by being told that the inquiry is 44 unauihor.ied and gratuitous" The history of Judge McLean's connection with the Philadelphia Convention-how his name was presented before that body, and how and when withdrawn-are matters of history, about which no one need be referred to for informition-lhcy are notonous as the un at noon day. Th.it Convention assembled at Li o'clock, on the 7th day of June, and proceeded to or-gan.xe by the appointment of ils ollicers and coinm.t-lees. On the second day of the Convention the following proceedings transpired : The following names were p'esented to ihe consid eration of the Convention : Hi. Mr Kent, of Maine..

On Wednesday, a third metfectual balloting was had, and on th- fourth billotin. Gen. Taylor received a majm ity uf all tho voles cast, and was declared duly nominated. There were then two balloting! for Vice Fro-..rf.nt. m. tl3 second of which Mr Fillmore was no- minaled. And now cornea Mr. 8. V Chase, the head and fiont ol the Liberty parly in Oliin, and m uie nt.i.lio manner and over Ins own signature de clarea that "the Convenlion hid assembled, not so much to nominate a cand.date for the Presidency, as to ratify a nomination already nnde,"-and rrfrrto ik. a.er.tArm nf Stale for information on this krad " Now we have no controversy with the Secretary of State for it is indeed true as he inlimales that we en-inv il rtfretkins consolalion that As has abuaed no onnfidfntM of our. And if he is content to re.t litis mailer where Mr. Chase has choaen lo place it, then to be it ! But Mr. Galloway look upon himself tho ofTice of delegate to represent the Whigs of the 10th Congres-ional District in that Convention. Wo are Whigs of that district. And when a distinguished leader of a parly who has for years stood openly and xeahmsly opposed to the Wh.gs of Ohm and of the nation comes among us, and openly, over h's own sign manual, h-.n. ii,pHn eluriresairaiiistthal Convenlion, and with an air of confidence, "refers us lo the Secretary of Stale for information on this head -and when weap-peal to that Secretary of Stale, our representative, to declare for himself vhethertkrse thing -wo It-ope Mr (Snllowav will not long eieuse himself for with holding a reply, bv alleging that our application is " unauthorized and gratuitous: We affirm that the allegations of Mr. Chase respect- in it that Convenlion are unfounded in fact and Mo Mr. Galloway were thrice voluntarily dumb, his acts lull U-stify in the mailer. He lk Ins seat on the fin I day of the Convention and withdrew Judge McLean's name on Ihe second day-and subsequently vo- U d twice on that day and twice on the day following for a candidate for I'reiidenl voted twice lor acandi date for Vice President and after all this made a apeech to the Convenlion. No language of Mr. Galloway could more forcibly negate the charge of Mr. Chase, than these his acts. And why he sutlers audi chsrges to be made here, in Ins bailiwick, and to his own constituents, without meeting from htm a prompt and emphatic denial, ia nut for us to say. It is idle lo say lo us that what Mr. Chase charges has reft-renca only to the withdrawal of Judge Me-Lean a name bv Mr. Galloway. This is evidently an af ter-thought of Mr. Chase's. The reader can judge of it for himself. We cannot hut think, however, it Mr. Chase could persuade the Secretary of Stale lo put These papers do no such thing. Pursuing one idea with an intense and fanatic devotion, they allow them-elves to be guilty of the grossest inconsistencies in regard to evervlhinir collateral to it. Penetrated by one absorbing notion, llio most vital interests of the Slate are loal iirht of nay, even wantonly sacrincea in its pursuit, while at the same time they jeopardize even the triumph of their one opinion by the pertinacity with which, irrespective of all considerations of policy and prudence, Ihey chase after it. It would seem as if Ihese men were penetrated with the opinion, lliat in political affairs only one thing can bo done at once, and that in order to insure the success of that one thing the political parties of the whole country must mike a violent transition from all former grounds, and must organise upon the basis whiclithey furnish to aid forward their cause aloue ; and they look upon themselves as very much aggrieved if all men, not seeing with their eyes, do not at once come into their measures, believe in their doctrines and become imbued with their zeal. We quarrel not with that spirit of egiliam which seems the patrimony of most modern reformers and wbicn leads inem to believe trial meir own wiiuum worth that of all the world besides. When confined within its proper bounds it is one of the most innocent of weaknesses; and it is only when it becomes exacting, turbulent, blind and unreasonable, that the barrier of reason should be interposed to check its disturban ces, and to protect the commonwealth from the lircs of its intemperate seal. The pohticsof the United Slalea ol America present aacen which is eminently practical. Certain results are to be produced, and certain desirable eniis to De secured, and men are the instruments by means uf which it is to be dono. Men are changeful and unlike Ihey are gregarious and adhesive. The motives that agitate the one are alt unfclt by the other, and thoughts that throw this one into the wildest agitation ar incapable of moving that in thu slightest degree. One listens to no suggestions but '.hose of interest, another gives ear to no vome but that of paision, and the third submits all questions to the alembic of reason and tries thu proffered truth by llio rules of common sense. The agitator would break all men from every past association, and would form them upon his own line of truth, dressed to his own eye, apparelled to his own standard. He has no charity for old adhesions. His fiat is, let them be instantly broken," and he cares nothing for the pain of thu operation. His command is, 11 come to my standard, or listen to my anathema." He makes no allowance for a diflerence ol constitu tion ; all must give way beforo the zeal of hisintolerance. And this is Ihe practical tntcsinanship thatappears in the uo-culled Free Territory paper. Their impartiality consists in the about equal abuse which they throw upon both the can.lidles of the two great par-tics uf the country. Their claims of strength are boastful estimates uf a force tln-y never cm accumulate. Their success is the confusion and uncertainty which they hope to throw around an otherwise certain event, and their history is the sorrowful record of the extension and perpetuation of an evil which they profess to wimIi to limit and abolish. They proTfii a desire lo further tho interests of peace, and lo perpeluale the reign uf good order and sound policy in the Stale, hut they make no endeavors to do so. They nbusc Gen. Cnss ; tliey abu Gen. Taylor, and then, resting from their labors, they laud themselves as (he only doers of duly to God, their counlry and the world. Judge Price Hon. J. W. Prick, of Highland, being in Cincinnati a lew days since, was culled out, and made an able and energetic speech in advocacy of the election of Gen. TAri.on. Judgti Price is a " Democrat " of the 1 lamer school We mention the fact for the benefit of Ihe Statesman, who may have heard of Judge Price and to show him (hat if there is here and there a Whig who in the early part of the canvass was so inconsiderate as to commit himself so strongly against Gen. Taylor that ho cannot now with a very good grace advocate his election, there are also occasionally to be found intr-lligent gentlemen, educated in the school of Virginia Ki-publicansof '!M,whodo not discern such surpassing beauty in the political character of Lewis Cass, as to bind them inseparably lo his interest. The distinction still holds good, that while those Whigs who are dissatisfied with the nomination of Taylor do nol go for Cans, the " Democrats" who cut loose front Can almoit invariably go for Taylor. Did the Statesman ever notice this Meeting ut Newark. The County Convention of Licking county, called for the purpoce of appointing delegates lo attend the Congressional Convention ol the District, was holden at Newark on Saturday last. From several quarters we learn thai ihe meeting was large and enthusiastic. One of our informants describes it as approaching, in appearance more nearly to the giant demonstrations of Irt lO, than any one that has taken place in the Slate. The contrast between this couuly convention, and the Grand Mass Meeting of the Demicracy of tho Slate of Ohio, which was holden al the same place on the 4th inst., is said lo have been especially to the disad. vantage of the latter. The meeting was addresicd by W. Drnnnon, Jr., Esq, of this city. The Hon. Thomas Ewing, who was expected, was detained by his duties as counsel in an important cause tin trial in the Circuit Court, now in seniiun in this city. (jj- Several of Ihe Locofoco papers, commencing with the Cincinnati Signal and ending with the Wash, ington Globe, having discovered lhat Ihe IrlWrot Gen. Taylor to the Signal is in the handwriting ut his Sec. retary, Mijor Hliss, consider that fact as conclusive evidence thai Major Bliss is the author of all of Gen. Taylor's published communications. This is drawing an inference with a vengeance. No known animal but the ass, is, in proportion to his weight so powerful at the draught. Am and CnnrnnT roHTiia Cass Mrs. The Honorable Francis P. lllair, the very head and front nf Lo-eofocoism during the days of Jackson and Van Huren, tho draftuman of the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention, the especial organ and mouth piece of administrative democracy for the last fillt eo years, has abandoned the nominee of the iniquitous Con vention al Baltimore, and has declared his intention to give his zealous and earnest support to Mr. Van Buret.. Why do not the Locolocos drop Gen. Cass? Circuit Court, The case of Hole hams' administratrix ft al. vt. Greenwood and Wood, occupied the attention of the Court during Friday and Saturday last. This was an action brought to recover damages for thu infringement of a patent right for the manufacture of knobs lor doors, cabinet furniture and olher uses. The article employed in the manufacture is potter's clay and porcelain ; and the plaintiffs claim, under their right as discoverers, the application of a known material to a novel and highly beneficial use ; and also ii i nit of attachment, not before unknown, but by inch a forced construction upon his irr.fi language, tem npwy 1,1,l(.d to the purpose of fastening the how easy it would be lor turn to satisiy iiunseii mat no knn t( l(J m,.lti,c ,,4,ik by which it is supported had not been altogether precisely understood in what he ullered orally in his speech in Truro township ! The Tree Territory Principle and Irnctico. There are two or three papers in the State which profess to adhere lo the principles of the Whig party, and which yet do not support the nomineo of the Whigs for the Presidency. The editors of these papers claim in general, as the reason tor the course which th"y have adapted, lhat they possess a larger amount of conscience than their brethren that Ihey are less Iramelled by the chains of party, and (hat in their bosom the name of patriotism bums with a purer light and gives a brighter lustre to the beacon which illuminates their path. Now if these professions aro sustained by facta if in fact political purity and truth are incarnate in them alone, nothing would be more natural than the expectation lo find in those papers, the boldest declarations of principle the purest exemplifications of truth The defence of matters of fact and questions nf law controverting the fact of llio discovery by the plain-till, and denying their right under the law lo any exclusive privilege.

We should expect to see them advocating their own cause upon the strength of Its own iiilrinsio merit, and to hear them doing Ihe most ample justice to every valid claim of every ad versary. It would be their duty to exercise a strict eonservstinn over the good of every party Irom which they dissent, and to sustsm with the utmost vigor every interest which they deem vital to ihe prosperity of tho State. To the tlditora of the Ohio State Journal s The remarks contained in one of your editorial ar ticles in yesterday's Journal require from me at least a brief notice. 1 inferred from reading Mr. Chase's eard us it appeared in your paper, (for that was the urst intimation which 1 received that a reference wouiu be made lo me upon any matter,) that he referred to me, only, fur intelligence as to the fact and Ihe manner of tho withdrawal of Judce McLean's name from the National Convention. To suppose that 1 knew what would be Ihe certain results of that Convention before they occurred, uud that 1 was prepared to bo a referee fur such remarkable intelligence, would be ooaici-Jing to me a spirit and power of divimuton not frequently bestowed in these latter days upon any mortal, and especially not upon politicians, and would constitute me a very useful parliian in removing Ihe doubts and conjectures of those who are as anxiously speculating as to what will be the results of the next 1'rcHidenlial election, as many of us were in advance of tbe untion of Ihu Convention as lo what would be one by that body. Mr. Chase could not stultify him self by investing me with such an extraordinary at trihute, and 1 now know by declarations since lue appearance of tho card, what was obvious to me from its reading, that his reference was confined to the single point spi'cilled. Upon that 1 would remark, that be tore the meeting $ the Convention, 1 learned from Judge McLean by Telegraphic despatch and by other modes of correspondence, lhat he would not permit his name to oe UM-d as a candidate by the Convention, unless there was a clear snu unequivocal expression ut tne unio delegation in his favor. As soon as i ascertained, (which 1 did at its first preliminary meeting,) Hint a majority of tho delegation preferred Gen. Scott, 1 considered Judge McLean's instructions imperative and conclusive). After consultation with Mr. Del'rees, of Indiana, and other friends of the Judge, it was con cluded to be belter in order to render notorious the Inct that he could not tie a candidate for nomination, that his name should be presented and immediately withdrawn in the manner in winch it was d'ne. At the tune of the withdrawal 1 staled upon my own responsibility, that a contingency might arise in which 1 would preieul his name to the Convention as candidate. Ihe contingency which 1 coiitciimlaled was if a unanimous resolution were passed uy the Ohio delegation to present his name. 1 am not advised m regard to Judgp McLean s pres- nt views and position, but my confidence is clear lhat us usual and acknowledged magnanimity and sound judgment will guide him to conclusions alike gratify ing to his real and disappointing to his pretended friends. I In your editorial it is slated that 1 am " referred to as casting ignominy and reproach upon that Convvn- lion I lial remark 1 deem entirely unauthorized and gratuitous. Your language in winch you introduced the italicized Words mental rctermtion, is not explicit. do nt perceive any intimation ol that kind in Mr. Chase's card. 1 know that he must disclaim any such allusion, directly or indirectly, and 1 am prepared to liaraetenze any intimation ut thai sort applied lo me, come from what source it may, as " dastardly." ' It is true tint 1 avowed in the District Convention 1 lhat 1 am a " Whig all over, entirely and cmiliiiuully," I and that those who had honored me with I lit ir support " shouiu never have occasion to regret the ch'nce they had made.' My position as indicated by the former avowal, is now as it was then. 1 am, as regnrds my vv lug principles in statu fiw, and 1 am prepared, al the appropriate time, to m,ike "full proof uf my ministry " as a delegate, to meet all inquiries, charges or complaints, and to maintain a position altogether consilient with my political professions, and with my ft dei ty to my party and my constituents As to the latter avowal, I can state thai 1 have not yet met an iudi vidual who voted for me as a delegate, who did not express himself as fully satisfied with my votes and nrli"ii ; if those who did not honor me with their suffrages have any "regrets," Ihey can refresh themselves with the consoling thought that their confidence was not abused. 1 am ready when duty calls to stand up and luce the inumc." SAMUEL GALLOWAY. Coircipondcnce of the Ohio Sti'.c Journal. Mu mkk Citv. July li-J, IrtW. Mr. Editor: The " eultattt Welter" irave an en tertainment at the Court Hume, yesterday, to the tin terrijird of Wood and Lucas, and to a goodly number of VMngs, who turned oui to gratify their curiosity by a sight of Ihe " Hero of Monterey," as he is dubbed, in the lulls, and which appellation, according loins own account, he is well entitled lo. i he Col. commenced Uv stating the awful situation in winch he was then placed, being in a Whig county with probably a large part of the audience opposed to him j hut he declared lhat 4t there was no place on od Almighty s earth w lie re he feared to speak his sentiments;" winch courageous declaration repealed Willi great vehemence snu considerable loam at the mouth (w hieli roaming by the bye is a very important item in the Col's eloquence) produced of course an immense sensation 1'he Col. then proceeded to sneak of the nominee of the Baltimore Convention pronounced Cass a man 11 whose Inography lias been written (which wsa claiming only half what was di.e hi in) eulogised But ler related an anecdote uf the setge of Monterey, and fell foul of the Wings. Ol course, the man who spared not the Mexicans, would show htlle mercy to their aUes. 'i he mini ep ithets, in such cases made and provided such as, "Bn. tish Federal Whigs, Traitors, Tories, &u., were rung II their changes, and formed a considerable portion of the speech, together with others which the hero's chaste imagination and well-stored memory supplied him with, such as liars, knaves, tools, &.e. Indeed, he semned ready mad, and from his teeth, it would seem that the W hig boys somewhere must have dealt rather hardly Willi Inm. However, he said he did nt care for them, and repealed it so often that all were convinced (hat he was entirely indifferent rlie Colonel made oath to Gen Tnylor' ignorance f politics, which set tint matter at rest. Indeed if the hero's language is a fair specimen, we must con clude that "our army swore ternhly in Flanders." The question of ihe origin of the war w as argui d, and Ihe Km Grande proved to be the boundary of Texas by a map which the Colonel produced, and which showed conclusively, by a red line running up that river, lhat it was Hi true boundary, winch of course settled that matter forcver,and relieved the President trout the odium of commencing the war. 1 he question of hIh very in the territories was settled Willi equal ease by showing lhat Congress had no jurisdiction in Ihe premises, and that conquered territory came in under the laws already in force, and as a law of Me ico prohibited slavery, therefore the Wiluiol Proviso was entirely unnecessary, which reasoning he seemed to think good enough for a Lorofoeir audience. Martin Van ituren was as summarily disponed nf, and Hie vt lugs maiie scapegoats tor the sins ol the II rnimrn ers. I le also instanced some ot the trickery practiced at former conventions to show tho uniform practice of the party and tho unreasonableness f the llnmburn- vrs m being dissatmlied at such (huiL's at this late day. Ihe I anil, Hanks, Internal luiiimveiiienls and the awlul revolution imieuding, were not deemed worthy of notice, or else he feared that ' the noise and confusion would prevent his being heard on those important topics." 1 he Colonel was very severe on those who oppose the elevation ol military heroes to high civil oihces, and seemed to have considerable personal interest in the matter, lie proclaimed his unwillingness to re ceive the support of any who felt at all squeamish on account ot Uie slaughter which he had accomplished, and declared that Ins own conscience justified him en lirely in what he had done. As the Colonel is not reported to have been very severe on Ihe Mexicans, it is supposed lint he referred to their fowls, winch they do say suffered some m the vicmily nl his quarters, and he compounded with Ins conscience on the principle that appropriating them was spoiling tne ruiiisuncs A nuiuher ul Venerable anecdotes were related, re vamped for the ocr us ion, relating occurrences which lint Colonel averred took place at Monterey, in the thickest of the light and immrtlmtrly under kti own ry From his remarks it could hardly be iulerred tint I Gen.

Stkubekvillk, Ohio, July 21, 1H48. Having recently made a tour through a considerable portion ot the State of Ohio) I have gathered some facts which may be iute.euling to your numerous readers.As to Chops The labors of the husbandmen have net with a most bounteous return in this great agricultural State. The wheat crop now gathered has exceeded thut of any previous year, and 1 have ample authority fur the fact that thu wheal emu of this year is more than double lhat ot last year. In many counties il will be quadruple. Ah is always the case, where the quantity is large, the quality is superior. 1'he corn, oats, and poiutoe crops all promise an equal abundance. The great question now is where shall wu find a market fur our iiuuieiiflc surplus? Already have the flattering promises of a foreign market, opened by the operations of free trade, vanished into thin air, and the larmersof Ohio are thoroughly convinced lhat the uniform, legitimate and regular demands of a home mnrket, are a much surer reliance than the uncertain and fitful wuuts created by a fmiiiue iu a foreign land. As to Finances. This great State has placed her finances in the most creditable and satisfactory position. I was informed by the Auditor uf State, at Columbus, that after p'.ymg the interest on her entire debl, and defraying I be expenses of Ihe Government, there would be at the end of Ihe fiscal year a surplus application to the debt iUelf of nearly half a million of dollars. The value of the obligations of the Slate may be estimated by this tiict. The debt of the Slate was reduced about the same amount during ihe last fiscal year To winvu and to what are these results allribululde ? To the Whigs, and to their financial policy, which they, and they only, have had Ihe wisdom lo conceive, and ihe firmness to execute. And while the whole Whig parly f Ihe Stole merit the honor of tuttniiUHg the measure, yet it is lo the firmness, the sagacity, snd miHineh.ng nerve of one man that the credit is due, of giving it legislative form and practical operation, even atfutnxt the fears and the cautious uf many equally honest but mure fund coadjutors. As he would moHt surely have reaped the odium ol the measure had it proved a failvre, so now that it has not, let Alfred Kelley receive tin honor. fi I'ttlman qui nrruit fernt." As io Politics Tnylor Mill undoubtedly carry the electoral vote of Ohio. The Locofoco party in Ohio has assumed a most during course and disorganizing position in reference to State politics. The leaders have evidently progressed to rapidly for the slower movement of the mnxses. Tliey have assumed a position which the people of tins (real Slate will not only not sustain, but which they wi.l emuhalicallv condrmn. Thu odium of this projitt lilu (he poisoned shirt of Nessus, cannot be sunken ntt They expect to be overthrown in the State eleclnu, by ten tlmiuniiil ma-jonty. The Whigs count on tMeiily thousand. Now, it it is not surprising that the Mexicans did not rally, after the defeat at Ifiieiia Visit, and overthrow and capture Taylor and his victoriois army, so it would be past all comprehension, if the great Whig pnrty of Ohm, alter achieving an equally glorious victory in October, shall surrender to Lorfi.coinm in November. The Whigs of Ohio never have, and never will " surrender " But independently of all this, Taylor begins to be known and appreciated by the Whigs of Ohio, and what is equally to the point, Cuss is almntij kitottn, and is fully appreciated in Ohio. There are men now living who roomed wilh (.'ass, at the esl of government in Ohio, when that room was the headquarters of the old fedrral party, and a gentleman of the highest character, tlu-u a citizen of Ohio, but now and siiich a citizen, and for many years a member of the Legislature of Virginia, relates the circumstance of Cass, the late Charles Hammond and himself, all young and ardent politicians, uniting to elect a prominent federalist to the Supreme Bench uf Ohio. They were not members of the Legislature, but writ Ihere as lobby-members, and their room wiu then emphatically the headquarters of the " federal clique." Now it is not so much for his quondam federalism, as his pliant prin-ciples, 1 li.it Cass is here helJ in such utter contempt. An honest, coimis'ent, independent federalist, such an one as Charles Hammond Im-d and died, the people of Ohio will resjwcl, even if tls y do not support in politics. But Ihe wolf in sheep cloth in, the federalist in heart, in principle, in association, iu development, (King arid Court,) and (he D -mocrat by transmutalinu, tiy conversion, by profession, they utterly despise. The character ofCnss is so well understood in Ohio, that whilst some of his old associates admit that he has " stooped to conquer," they think he would he conservative in ojftrx. They forget that when a man. like John Tyler, loses his self respect, there is no other hope for him, lhau in the ulmosi degradation and infamy in which he can sink huntelf, Unit lie may excite amazement when he has failed to produce admiration.

Cass a Federal Editor A letter from Ntt-ubenvillc, Ohio, to Ihe editor of the Philadelphia News, his the following scrap concerning the early hUtory of Lewis Cass, Ihu Locofoco candidate for the Piesidency : An old pioneer now near seventy years of age-gave me a leaf frem an unpublished history to read the oilier eveiiiug. It runs thus: At the beginning uf Ihe present century, a couple of very respect tide young men established a paper in Marietta, Washington county, Ohm, The senior editor was an adventurer from New Hampshirethe junior from another ol the New Hnglaud Stales. The senior editor's father was a New llampshne Federalist ; and therefore, il is not at all strange that the son gave the newspsp'-r a strong federal bins. Indeed, he wai so active in the Federal cause thai his party friends ran hnn for the Legmlsture in opposition to s young Kepuhlican named WooUtinuge, wtio has since Iteen a distinguished Whig Senator in Congress from Michigan. But the young Federalist was defeated, and the Republican Was sent up lo the onpitol, Chiilicolhe, as the Representative to the General Axseinbly, The editor's ruling passion, however, wsa nllice ; and when Jefferson was securely placed in power, this ambitious young gentleman abandoned the fsiih nf his fathers, and sgld Ins principles fr thu nlfice of Marshal of the Stale of Ohio. This is the commencement of the De-illiteracy of Lewis Cam.

Alt. Vernon Trua Whig. A new paper bearing the above title, is announced lobe plblished in Mt Vernon, the first number of which is to be issued on Wednesday of next week. it is to be edited by J. S. Davis, Eiq , and published by KrHAN Ai.i.en Hiooins, who was formerly employed in this office, and is an industrious and fmthful mechanic. The True It'hijr will be truly, thorough ly and umlisguisedly Whig "and 44 will at all times advocate the election of the nominees of thu Whig Nominating Conventions, both Slate and National. The Hag of Tayi.oii, Fii.lmohk snd Fonn shall float at its must-bead, and it will do battle in theii behalf with might and main." Success to its efforts! A Question, If by some unforeseen combination of events, Mar tin Van Uuren had been the nominee of Km Whig National Convenlion at Philadelphia, is there a Whig iu the Union who would willingly have come to his support? Who would not have questioned his Whig-gery? Who would not inquired by what means he became so suddenly m.bued with ihe principles of our parly? Who would nol have feared the genuineness ol his new born zeal in the support of measures against which his whole life has been one continued, unrelent ing warfare t Who would not have doubted the sin-eerity of his late conversion lo Free Soil and Free Territory principles ? There is no Whig in Ihe United States who would nol have turned wilh contempt from the man who pro posed to hnn in seriousness the name of Martin Van Huren, as one to be holden before llieeycsof his par ty as the advocate of Whig doctrines, the exemplar of Wing principles, and the impersonificatmn of Whig measures and interests. He would instantly have felt that in supporting such a candidate, he ceased to be any longer a Whig. He would have pointed in scorn to his uniform and disgraceful subserviency to party tor thu sake or power. Hh would have recilet' the wrongs which he bad inflicted upon the North, in or der to conciliate Ihe tyrannical and clamorous South 44 The Northern nun with Southern principles," would have found no favor at h.s hands, and he would have declared the m agician of (he Locnfocos might play his Iricks of legerdemain upon the men of his own party, hul that the Whigs were above and beyond his influ ence. Had Mr. Van Buren been proposed to the Whigs as their candidate, no elaborate declaration of principle, noaiuJicd advocacy of particular acts or measures would hove been able to transfer the confidence of the party to a man so habitually treacherous, to a politician so notoriously venal and profligate. His half a century of political charletantsm would have been conclu sive against his hopes its history would have forever sellled Ins pretensions. And yet there are Whigs at least there are men who claim to be whigs who are indignant if their right to a high place in the ranks of the party isques-huin-il wm cliiim the position of standard bearers, leaders, trumpet blowers, in the Whig army whose voices are lud when all goes well, and whose breath is always liberally expended in aid of a favorable breeze. who now turning their f-eble rams horns against the Jericho of Whiggery, and against its candidate, profess to nnu in AI-trhn Van Uuren all those political qusli. ties which they desire, and that full development of wing principles Tor which, as they say, their eyes have been longing until watch worn and weary they despair ed of its existence. To such, Martin Van Buren is a Whig. To deem him otherwise is to doubt their Whiggery. And yol there are some who will bo startled at the announce, ment that that gentleman has so far approximated to Ins previous and natural political antipodes as to ad-mil of the worship of men who, while Ihey fall before him, claim a proud position in the Wing parly, and ring ibeir anathemas against all who doubt their right lo Whig place and honors, und not only so but w ho ci. communicate, with all the form and cereuiunies of in. tense malediction, every one who does not see fit to abandon Ins own church and join Ihein in their idolatry.Home of these Whigs however, sre beginning to feel excessively uiicomfi.rliihlc al this Ibeir position. The pf me iv eiiiiions, WHO sioou Willi one loot Up- pon the sea and another upon Ihe Und, was a mighty angel, and was, no doubt, constituted with reference to remarkable an achievement ; but the stride between Whiggery and Van Buren, is wider still, and the Whig that attempts it will, to insure his success, require a capacity of extension greater than any authentically recorded in sacred writ or profane history.

Our candi date for the Presidency does not promise to interpose his nai to prevent the people from digging out the cnannetsintn harbors, or drawing Ihe snags from the bottom of rivers, when they ir7 to do it. lie does not promise to set Ins own wisdom above the fiat of the men of a free nation, to silence them when they would spean.anu to hind them when they would act The Ohio State Journal has a stronger, a higher, a nnre implicit confidence u tho will of the people than to believe that Ihey require over them Tint ihun will or on a man, to hold them under the supremacy of what he doemtdeuiocruticdoclrii.es whether they choose or not. We go for no dictatorships. We advocate no one man power. We admire nol Ihe friends of a veto, and love not him who would place in the hands of a single individual Ihe power to plunge ihe counlry into a war. , In all these things, wo dilfer from Ihe Statesman, and wo aro content to dittor; and as for this paper avowing a want of confidence in llio people, the man who penned Ihe charge wrote a deliberate falsehood. QT The Statesman says of Gen. Taylor 41 He will lind it harder work to succeed when fighting at the head nf the Meiican Whig party, lhan when ballling against their allies on the Rio Urande." The model heroes uf Ihe Statesman are Cass and Weller Ihe fir si of whom broke Ins sword at the first convenient opportunity, while the (alter preferred the plunder nf ihe public funds at home to the precarious spoils of an enemy s country, whrre Are arms were carelessly used, and the copper bullets lie w uncomfortably thick . The Kditor of the Statesman sympathises with the exploits of such warriors, for although he has gained some reputation for heroism, by a propensity to commit assault and battery upon smaller men than himself, still we always deemed Ins natural tastes far bet-ter qualified by an opportunity to accumulate a few quires of broken paper lo add to his pile, or some loose odd snd end of government eggs or olUcial pigs and chickens. Whether General Taylor will have harder or easier work to beat the flocks of plunderers that caw and croak around the Capital, we look upon it as certain that he will heal them, for where was his bravery, Ins generalship, or his fortune ever al fault t Hejoction of the Compromise Hill. The following is the vote in the House uf Representatives, on the question of laying upon the table the Senate bill establishing Territorial Governments in Oregon, California, and New Mexico. The bill waa laid upon the table, and clinched. It can only be taken up by a vote of two-tbirds. Of course the bill is lost. A strong disposition is thereby manifested to resist all ' compromises" by which any more Slates shall be added to this Republic, any portion of whose inhabitants are slaves. Ibis is a consummation at which we greatly rejoice, and hnvo no question hut al every succeeding expression of llio public will on thin question, the opposition to the extension of slavery will be more emphatic.

Objections to th Validity of the Apportionment Lair Last week we gave our readers the volume and page wlmro the new apportionment law could be found We also traced the history of its pntotage through both Houses of the Ohio Legislature. We save dule and page lor every inuterial fact. We thought then, au! think now, lhat (he argument is conclusive. we propose this week In examine the objeclions l the validity of Ihe law. Wo shall stale those objee lions as we have heard them and as they appear in protest entered on the Journals of the House, pag. I:)U, and signed by K. D Potter, and all, or nearly e the Locolocos in the lower branch. We ask a olw scrutiny of our course of art-uniem. We invite a dis ciiaaion upon this point. Luterlaming the fullest ami firmest convictions that we are "ric-hi-." vet wi will cheerfully surrender if any one can pursuade us wi are wrong. We have a common interest with ah other good citizens in the purity and good faith of aM official and legislative acts. , our nrst inquiry will be, what is necessary to pass n law. Now thu manner of uassiuir Jaws depends ver. much upon the body that enacts them. They hav the power and right to prescribe their own mode. In Ohio the Legislaiure bus an entire control over th mode, restricted only by the constitution ot the State we win utn luoa at the constitutional provisions. Art. 1. Sec. I, of tins instrument provides thai. the Legislative authority of this State shall be vesteii in a General Assembly, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives, both to be elected bj 11. a o ' Seu II, provides that "each House mav deter mine the rules of ils proceedings," &o. Sec. 10', provides lhat " bills may originate in either House, but may bo altered, amended, or rejected b. the other." Sec. 17, provides that "evcrv bill shall be read mi three different days in each House, unless in case o ui gency three-fourths of such House where such bib is depending shall deem il exuedient In dome me unll this rule j and every bill having passrd both House shall be si giu-d by Ihe Speakers of the respectiv. These are ALL llicconstitutonal orovtsions tbatet ist upon the sutijecl ; all else that is necessary to pit hp laws rests in the discretion of that body. To giiid-and control that discretion each oody adopts a system of rules for their own convenience ai d use. At tie-last session the House had a set of rules lhat may b-found on Uie .Jlhii pug,, f the reports attached to ti,. House Journal. The Senate rules msv be found on the Itt lu'tli page, of reports, &lb , attach- d lo the Seuah Journal. I he joint rules thai govern both bodies im mediately follow the uiher rules. We ask that these rules be carefully read and con sidered. We auk lhat the Constitution be carefully examined. We have dime all (his with a desire to arrive at the Irulh. We have carefully read over these rules. We now slate, and we do it with the lull, at knowledge of our position, that NOT A CLAUSh OF THE CuNSI'l I'UTlON.OR A RULK OF LI THLR liOUSK WAS VIOLATED in the passagt ol the apportionment It. n mir last chapter we set iorlb its piissage step by slep. We here point lo the pnges-m section ol the constitution and rules. II we are wrong, lei some ingenious Locofoco point it out Leave off tins eternal system of ffeneraliiinir. and de scend to particulars. Tell us what clause of the Con stiluliou was violated, what rule of the House was trampled upon. Or if this cannot lie done, then let us hear no more about the act being iNO LAW. Was it noi reau inree several tunes ami on three several days in encn iiouse r do say llie Jonrn Us. Was tl not signed by the Speakers.' So say the Journals. Then ah the constitutional requirements are complied with. Was it not regularly PASSED in each branch? So say the Journals. Was not ihe only question in dispute the amendments of the House to the bill t This was all. Did not the House by resolution RECEDE from all the amendments in dispute? Certainly. Then what was there more in dispute about the bill ? Nothing. If then, nothing more remained for either House to do with it, and it was re nor led as correctly enrolh-d and signed by the Speakers, wtiat more was necessary to make it a law f Nothing. It then IS A LAW as much aa anv olher law of the last or snv oth er session. No sophistry, no bluster, no assurance and luuu ana long talk can alter tins " fixed fact." But says E. D. Potter and the other protestors ol (he House, 44 the bill was not in the possession of the House," and therefore the House could not act upon it. This is mere sophislrv. The House did nol bv iu act ALTER any feature ot the law." They pro. posed no change in the law. They did no set that required the concurrence of ihe Senate or snv arliuti of that body, 'i hey simply said 4 we wiihdisw oui amendments, and consent that Ihe bill may stand as it a. true, the bill was not bctore the House. Bui pray where is the clause m the constitution or the rule of the House thai reuuires il there in any case of the kind much less undvr the very extraordinary situation of affairs arising from the conduct of the lo Senators at INu IS, American Hotel It don't exist. The ob jection then is not substantial Hut, says the Protest, 'the Home did not know but lhat the Senate bad concurred in their amendments. true, they bad received no formal message of that fact but every man in Ohio knew Ihey had not lor the good raw.,, ,u r, i me oergeani-ai-A mis ot the Senate could not get a quorum of thai body fur ft days, and that too to act on this identical subiert. to wit. the House amendments. Dmii'iknow it? Whv thev DID know It. E. D. Poller knew It. Everv Locofoco and tv. ery Wing in the House knew it. But what of that. w nai ii ttie senate had concurred in the Huute amend- inents? If they had, then there waa nothing more for (he House to do, and the hill was a f.iie, with Ihe nouse stuoudineule a pari of thai law. The act of the House by their rest du inn receding would have come loo late. Il would have been s nullity. Il would have been like backing not ol an ode where the olher par. ly had taken you up ot your own offer. It would nave oeen too iuf. nut u the other party had ni agreed to your terms it would certamly be compcu-iii to ttukilraw those ler ins. Again, says the protest: 41 We object to Ibis mode of h-gislaiiiig iu a deliberative body by which a In, I al lecling the iiilereaUol the whole people is dispose. ! of, and attempted to be passed into a law by a imi resolution uf the Home." Now tins is sll gammon ' No such thing was done ; no such thing was proposed Pile bill had been passed, by each body in the n-gul r lorm. No further vole in any event would have been taken upon the hill. Mr. Potter knows this, and km-u it when he wrote Ibis protest. W hy then, does he lal . of passing a bill by a resolution ol the llousei V e can see no motive but to eundeavur to give countenance to the abominable conspiracy against the Stale that so infamously marked the Course of the leadeis of Locofocuism m Ohm. VVe again slate thai it was ihe object of the resolution simply to wiMuYaw amendments that they themselves had proosed. Such are the objections urged to the validity of this act. Are they sound i Are they made in good faith ? Are they anything more than the insane ravings of a set of traitors who were filled in iheir attempt to overturn the government of the Slate uf Ohm, and plunge us into chaos f We view it in no other light We like to have charity when we can. Hut we cannot blink the plain lacls. These men did attempt to destroy our government. The men lhat have signed this protest declare that the) should have 14 absquatulated ' from Ihe House snd gone t. No. rt, American Hotel, or some other hole, if ihey hid not been taken by sur prise by tho resolution that passed the House. And ihese are the men who feel so deeply for the houor and integrity of legislation ! These men quake and tremble in their shoes when they think how much the character of our State is likely to sutler by such hasty legislation.- v as there ever such arrant hypocrisy f Thev went willing and snxious to tumble tins fair fabric of our government into ruins at once if Ihe majority wouid noi yield to inem tne minority, and pass such s law as lh"V might dictate. But Ihey are horror struck ; they hold up their hands iu dismay, and cry aloud their terrible (ears for Ihe perpetuity uf our institutions when Ihe Whigs found a way to thwart their treason, and preserve the integrity and exiitci.ee of the government. If there wero ever a set of men doomed by their own mad acts to undying infamy, it is the men who plotted and saiicliuncd the treason at Columbus last winter. t is vain to urge that an act that is on Ihe statute book is not a law, because every rule of the body has not been complied with in its passage. Such breach of rules may be as they are objectionable. They ex pose those win break them to censure. But they can in nu respect all'i-cl Ihe 44 validity "of the law. Such a construction would be destructive of all certainty of legislation. Who ever heard of a plea to the validity of a law, that some rule uf the House had been violated iu its passage f Did any lawyer ever think nf such a thing ? Curlainly not. It was left to the Donkey Convention and their donkey advisers lo discover this. The idea is worthy the men, and ihe men are worthy the idea, We conclude tins chapter by recapitulating our pro. positions. I. i nai tne inw or apportionment was passea in strict cout'oiunly to the provisions of the Constitution of Olno.

And the Secretary of Slate is referred lo for information on this head. We ask the Secretary of Slate if these alienations of Mr Chase are trutt Our inquiry is not answered by being told that the inquiry is 44 unauihor.ied and gratuitous" The history of Judge McLean's connection with the Philadelphia Convention-how his name was presented before that body, and how and when withdrawn-are matters of history, about which no one need be referred to for informition-lhcy are notonous as the un at noon day. Th.it Convention assembled at Li o'clock, on the 7th day of June, and proceeded to or-gan.xe by the appointment of ils ollicers and coinm.t-lees. On the second day of the Convention the following proceedings transpired : The following names were p'esented to ihe consid eration of the Convention : Hi. Mr Kent, of Maine..

On Wednesday, a third metfectual balloting was had, and on th- fourth billotin. Gen. Taylor received a majm ity uf all tho voles cast, and was declared duly nominated. There were then two balloting! for Vice Fro-..rf.nt. m. tl3 second of which Mr Fillmore was no- minaled. And now cornea Mr. 8. V Chase, the head and fiont ol the Liberty parly in Oliin, and m uie nt.i.lio manner and over Ins own signature de clarea that "the Convenlion hid assembled, not so much to nominate a cand.date for the Presidency, as to ratify a nomination already nnde,"-and rrfrrto ik. a.er.tArm nf Stale for information on this krad " Now we have no controversy with the Secretary of State for it is indeed true as he inlimales that we en-inv il rtfretkins consolalion that As has abuaed no onnfidfntM of our. And if he is content to re.t litis mailer where Mr. Chase has choaen lo place it, then to be it ! But Mr. Galloway look upon himself tho ofTice of delegate to represent the Whigs of the 10th Congres-ional District in that Convention. Wo are Whigs of that district. And when a distinguished leader of a parly who has for years stood openly and xeahmsly opposed to the Wh.gs of Ohm and of the nation comes among us, and openly, over h's own sign manual, h-.n. ii,pHn eluriresairaiiistthal Convenlion, and with an air of confidence, "refers us lo the Secretary of Stale for information on this head -and when weap-peal to that Secretary of Stale, our representative, to declare for himself vhethertkrse thing -wo It-ope Mr (Snllowav will not long eieuse himself for with holding a reply, bv alleging that our application is " unauthorized and gratuitous: We affirm that the allegations of Mr. Chase respect- in it that Convenlion are unfounded in fact and Mo Mr. Galloway were thrice voluntarily dumb, his acts lull U-stify in the mailer. He lk Ins seat on the fin I day of the Convention and withdrew Judge McLean's name on Ihe second day-and subsequently vo- U d twice on that day and twice on the day following for a candidate for I'reiidenl voted twice lor acandi date for Vice President and after all this made a apeech to the Convenlion. No language of Mr. Galloway could more forcibly negate the charge of Mr. Chase, than these his acts. And why he sutlers audi chsrges to be made here, in Ins bailiwick, and to his own constituents, without meeting from htm a prompt and emphatic denial, ia nut for us to say. It is idle lo say lo us that what Mr. Chase charges has reft-renca only to the withdrawal of Judge Me-Lean a name bv Mr. Galloway. This is evidently an af ter-thought of Mr. Chase's. The reader can judge of it for himself. We cannot hut think, however, it Mr. Chase could persuade the Secretary of Stale lo put These papers do no such thing. Pursuing one idea with an intense and fanatic devotion, they allow them-elves to be guilty of the grossest inconsistencies in regard to evervlhinir collateral to it. Penetrated by one absorbing notion, llio most vital interests of the Slate are loal iirht of nay, even wantonly sacrincea in its pursuit, while at the same time they jeopardize even the triumph of their one opinion by the pertinacity with which, irrespective of all considerations of policy and prudence, Ihey chase after it. It would seem as if Ihese men were penetrated with the opinion, lliat in political affairs only one thing can bo done at once, and that in order to insure the success of that one thing the political parties of the whole country must mike a violent transition from all former grounds, and must organise upon the basis whiclithey furnish to aid forward their cause aloue ; and they look upon themselves as very much aggrieved if all men, not seeing with their eyes, do not at once come into their measures, believe in their doctrines and become imbued with their zeal. We quarrel not with that spirit of egiliam which seems the patrimony of most modern reformers and wbicn leads inem to believe trial meir own wiiuum worth that of all the world besides. When confined within its proper bounds it is one of the most innocent of weaknesses; and it is only when it becomes exacting, turbulent, blind and unreasonable, that the barrier of reason should be interposed to check its disturban ces, and to protect the commonwealth from the lircs of its intemperate seal. The pohticsof the United Slalea ol America present aacen which is eminently practical. Certain results are to be produced, and certain desirable eniis to De secured, and men are the instruments by means uf which it is to be dono. Men are changeful and unlike Ihey are gregarious and adhesive. The motives that agitate the one are alt unfclt by the other, and thoughts that throw this one into the wildest agitation ar incapable of moving that in thu slightest degree. One listens to no suggestions but '.hose of interest, another gives ear to no vome but that of paision, and the third submits all questions to the alembic of reason and tries thu proffered truth by llio rules of common sense. The agitator would break all men from every past association, and would form them upon his own line of truth, dressed to his own eye, apparelled to his own standard. He has no charity for old adhesions. His fiat is, let them be instantly broken," and he cares nothing for the pain of thu operation. His command is, 11 come to my standard, or listen to my anathema." He makes no allowance for a diflerence ol constitu tion ; all must give way beforo the zeal of hisintolerance. And this is Ihe practical tntcsinanship thatappears in the uo-culled Free Territory paper. Their impartiality consists in the about equal abuse which they throw upon both the can.lidles of the two great par-tics uf the country. Their claims of strength are boastful estimates uf a force tln-y never cm accumulate. Their success is the confusion and uncertainty which they hope to throw around an otherwise certain event, and their history is the sorrowful record of the extension and perpetuation of an evil which they profess to wimIi to limit and abolish. They proTfii a desire lo further tho interests of peace, and lo perpeluale the reign uf good order and sound policy in the Stale, hut they make no endeavors to do so. They nbusc Gen. Cnss ; tliey abu Gen. Taylor, and then, resting from their labors, they laud themselves as (he only doers of duly to God, their counlry and the world. Judge Price Hon. J. W. Prick, of Highland, being in Cincinnati a lew days since, was culled out, and made an able and energetic speech in advocacy of the election of Gen. TAri.on. Judgti Price is a " Democrat " of the 1 lamer school We mention the fact for the benefit of Ihe Statesman, who may have heard of Judge Price and to show him (hat if there is here and there a Whig who in the early part of the canvass was so inconsiderate as to commit himself so strongly against Gen. Taylor that ho cannot now with a very good grace advocate his election, there are also occasionally to be found intr-lligent gentlemen, educated in the school of Virginia Ki-publicansof '!M,whodo not discern such surpassing beauty in the political character of Lewis Cass, as to bind them inseparably lo his interest. The distinction still holds good, that while those Whigs who are dissatisfied with the nomination of Taylor do nol go for Cans, the " Democrats" who cut loose front Can almoit invariably go for Taylor. Did the Statesman ever notice this Meeting ut Newark. The County Convention of Licking county, called for the purpoce of appointing delegates lo attend the Congressional Convention ol the District, was holden at Newark on Saturday last. From several quarters we learn thai ihe meeting was large and enthusiastic. One of our informants describes it as approaching, in appearance more nearly to the giant demonstrations of Irt lO, than any one that has taken place in the Slate. The contrast between this couuly convention, and the Grand Mass Meeting of the Demicracy of tho Slate of Ohio, which was holden al the same place on the 4th inst., is said lo have been especially to the disad. vantage of the latter. The meeting was addresicd by W. Drnnnon, Jr., Esq, of this city. The Hon. Thomas Ewing, who was expected, was detained by his duties as counsel in an important cause tin trial in the Circuit Court, now in seniiun in this city. (jj- Several of Ihe Locofoco papers, commencing with the Cincinnati Signal and ending with the Wash, ington Globe, having discovered lhat Ihe IrlWrot Gen. Taylor to the Signal is in the handwriting ut his Sec. retary, Mijor Hliss, consider that fact as conclusive evidence thai Major Bliss is the author of all of Gen. Taylor's published communications. This is drawing an inference with a vengeance. No known animal but the ass, is, in proportion to his weight so powerful at the draught. Am and CnnrnnT roHTiia Cass Mrs. The Honorable Francis P. lllair, the very head and front nf Lo-eofocoism during the days of Jackson and Van Huren, tho draftuman of the resolutions of the Baltimore Convention, the especial organ and mouth piece of administrative democracy for the last fillt eo years, has abandoned the nominee of the iniquitous Con vention al Baltimore, and has declared his intention to give his zealous and earnest support to Mr. Van Buret.. Why do not the Locolocos drop Gen. Cass? Circuit Court, The case of Hole hams' administratrix ft al. vt. Greenwood and Wood, occupied the attention of the Court during Friday and Saturday last. This was an action brought to recover damages for thu infringement of a patent right for the manufacture of knobs lor doors, cabinet furniture and olher uses. The article employed in the manufacture is potter's clay and porcelain ; and the plaintiffs claim, under their right as discoverers, the application of a known material to a novel and highly beneficial use ; and also ii i nit of attachment, not before unknown, but by inch a forced construction upon his irr.fi language, tem npwy 1,1,l(.d to the purpose of fastening the how easy it would be lor turn to satisiy iiunseii mat no knn t( l(J m,.lti,c ,,4,ik by which it is supported had not been altogether precisely understood in what he ullered orally in his speech in Truro township ! The Tree Territory Principle and Irnctico. There are two or three papers in the State which profess to adhere lo the principles of the Whig party, and which yet do not support the nomineo of the Whigs for the Presidency. The editors of these papers claim in general, as the reason tor the course which th"y have adapted, lhat they possess a larger amount of conscience than their brethren that Ihey are less Iramelled by the chains of party, and (hat in their bosom the name of patriotism bums with a purer light and gives a brighter lustre to the beacon which illuminates their path. Now if these professions aro sustained by facta if in fact political purity and truth are incarnate in them alone, nothing would be more natural than the expectation lo find in those papers, the boldest declarations of principle the purest exemplifications of truth The defence of matters of fact and questions nf law controverting the fact of llio discovery by the plain-till, and denying their right under the law lo any exclusive privilege.

It would be their duty to exercise a strict eonservstinn over the good of every party Irom which they dissent, and to sustsm with the utmost vigor every interest which they deem vital to ihe prosperity of tho State. To the tlditora of the Ohio State Journal s The remarks contained in one of your editorial ar ticles in yesterday's Journal require from me at least a brief notice. 1 inferred from reading Mr. Chase's eard us it appeared in your paper, (for that was the urst intimation which 1 received that a reference wouiu be made lo me upon any matter,) that he referred to me, only, fur intelligence as to the fact and Ihe manner of tho withdrawal of Judce McLean's name from the National Convention. To suppose that 1 knew what would be Ihe certain results of that Convention before they occurred, uud that 1 was prepared to bo a referee fur such remarkable intelligence, would be ooaici-Jing to me a spirit and power of divimuton not frequently bestowed in these latter days upon any mortal, and especially not upon politicians, and would constitute me a very useful parliian in removing Ihe doubts and conjectures of those who are as anxiously speculating as to what will be the results of the next 1'rcHidenlial election, as many of us were in advance of tbe untion of Ihu Convention as lo what would be one by that body. Mr. Chase could not stultify him self by investing me with such an extraordinary at trihute, and 1 now know by declarations since lue appearance of tho card, what was obvious to me from its reading, that his reference was confined to the single point spi'cilled. Upon that 1 would remark, that be tore the meeting $ the Convention, 1 learned from Judge McLean by Telegraphic despatch and by other modes of correspondence, lhat he would not permit his name to oe UM-d as a candidate by the Convention, unless there was a clear snu unequivocal expression ut tne unio delegation in his favor. As soon as i ascertained, (which 1 did at its first preliminary meeting,) Hint a majority of tho delegation preferred Gen. Scott, 1 considered Judge McLean's instructions imperative and conclusive). After consultation with Mr. Del'rees, of Indiana, and other friends of the Judge, it was con cluded to be belter in order to render notorious the Inct that he could not tie a candidate for nomination, that his name should be presented and immediately withdrawn in the manner in winch it was d'ne. At the tune of the withdrawal 1 staled upon my own responsibility, that a contingency might arise in which 1 would preieul his name to the Convention as candidate. Ihe contingency which 1 coiitciimlaled was if a unanimous resolution were passed uy the Ohio delegation to present his name. 1 am not advised m regard to Judgp McLean s pres- nt views and position, but my confidence is clear lhat us usual and acknowledged magnanimity and sound judgment will guide him to conclusions alike gratify ing to his real and disappointing to his pretended friends. I In your editorial it is slated that 1 am " referred to as casting ignominy and reproach upon that Convvn- lion I lial remark 1 deem entirely unauthorized and gratuitous. Your language in winch you introduced the italicized Words mental rctermtion, is not explicit. do nt perceive any intimation ol that kind in Mr. Chase's card. 1 know that he must disclaim any such allusion, directly or indirectly, and 1 am prepared to liaraetenze any intimation ut thai sort applied lo me, come from what source it may, as " dastardly." ' It is true tint 1 avowed in the District Convention 1 lhat 1 am a " Whig all over, entirely and cmiliiiuully," I and that those who had honored me with I lit ir support " shouiu never have occasion to regret the ch'nce they had made.' My position as indicated by the former avowal, is now as it was then. 1 am, as regnrds my vv lug principles in statu fiw, and 1 am prepared, al the appropriate time, to m,ike "full proof uf my ministry " as a delegate, to meet all inquiries, charges or complaints, and to maintain a position altogether consilient with my political professions, and with my ft dei ty to my party and my constituents As to the latter avowal, I can state thai 1 have not yet met an iudi vidual who voted for me as a delegate, who did not express himself as fully satisfied with my votes and nrli"ii ; if those who did not honor me with their suffrages have any "regrets," Ihey can refresh themselves with the consoling thought that their confidence was not abused. 1 am ready when duty calls to stand up and luce the inumc."

Mr. Editor: The " eultattt Welter" irave an en tertainment at the Court Hume, yesterday, to the tin terrijird of Wood and Lucas, and to a goodly number of VMngs, who turned oui to gratify their curiosity by a sight of Ihe " Hero of Monterey," as he is dubbed, in the lulls, and which appellation, according loins own account, he is well entitled lo. i he Col. commenced Uv stating the awful situation in winch he was then placed, being in a Whig county with probably a large part of the audience opposed to him j hut he declared lhat 4t there was no place on od Almighty s earth w lie re he feared to speak his sentiments;" winch courageous declaration repealed Willi great vehemence snu considerable loam at the mouth (w hieli roaming by the bye is a very important item in the Col's eloquence) produced of course an immense sensation 1'he Col. then proceeded to sneak of the nominee of the Baltimore Convention pronounced Cass a man 11 whose Inography lias been written (which wsa claiming only half what was di.e hi in) eulogised But ler related an anecdote uf the setge of Monterey, and fell foul of the Wings. Ol course, the man who spared not the Mexicans, would show htlle mercy to their aUes. 'i he mini ep ithets, in such cases made and provided such as, "Bn. tish Federal Whigs, Traitors, Tories, &u., were rung II their changes, and formed a considerable portion of the speech, together with others which the hero's chaste imagination and well-stored memory supplied him with, such as liars, knaves, tools, &.e. Indeed, he semned ready mad, and from his teeth, it would seem that the W hig boys somewhere must have dealt rather hardly Willi Inm. However, he said he did nt care for them, and repealed it so often that all were convinced (hat he was entirely indifferent rlie Colonel made oath to Gen Tnylor' ignorance f politics, which set tint matter at rest. Indeed if the hero's language is a fair specimen, we must con clude that "our army swore ternhly in Flanders." The question of ihe origin of the war w as argui d, and Ihe Km Grande proved to be the boundary of Texas by a map which the Colonel produced, and which showed conclusively, by a red line running up that river, lhat it was Hi true boundary, winch of course settled that matter forcver,and relieved the President trout the odium of commencing the war. 1 he question of hIh very in the territories was settled Willi equal ease by showing lhat Congress had no jurisdiction in Ihe premises, and that conquered territory came in under the laws already in force, and as a law of Me ico prohibited slavery, therefore the Wiluiol Proviso was entirely unnecessary, which reasoning he seemed to think good enough for a Lorofoeir audience. Martin Van ituren was as summarily disponed nf, and Hie vt lugs maiie scapegoats tor the sins ol the II rnimrn ers. I le also instanced some ot the trickery practiced at former conventions to show tho uniform practice of the party and tho unreasonableness f the llnmburn- vrs m being dissatmlied at such (huiL's at this late day. Ihe I anil, Hanks, Internal luiiimveiiienls and the awlul revolution imieuding, were not deemed worthy of notice, or else he feared that ' the noise and confusion would prevent his being heard on those important topics." 1 he Colonel was very severe on those who oppose the elevation ol military heroes to high civil oihces, and seemed to have considerable personal interest in the matter, lie proclaimed his unwillingness to re ceive the support of any who felt at all squeamish on account ot Uie slaughter which he had accomplished, and declared that Ins own conscience justified him en lirely in what he had done. As the Colonel is not reported to have been very severe on Ihe Mexicans, it is supposed lint he referred to their fowls, winch they do say suffered some m the vicmily nl his quarters, and he compounded with Ins conscience on the principle that appropriating them was spoiling tne ruiiisuncs A nuiuher ul Venerable anecdotes were related, re vamped for the ocr us ion, relating occurrences which lint Colonel averred took place at Monterey, in the thickest of the light and immrtlmtrly under kti own ry From his remarks it could hardly be iulerred tint I Gen.

Stkubekvillk, Ohio, July 21, 1H48. Having recently made a tour through a considerable portion ot the State of Ohio) I have gathered some facts which may be iute.euling to your numerous readers.As to Chops The labors of the husbandmen have net with a most bounteous return in this great agricultural State. The wheat crop now gathered has exceeded thut of any previous year, and 1 have ample authority fur the fact that thu wheal emu of this year is more than double lhat ot last year. In many counties il will be quadruple. Ah is always the case, where the quantity is large, the quality is superior. 1'he corn, oats, and poiutoe crops all promise an equal abundance. The great question now is where shall wu find a market fur our iiuuieiiflc surplus? Already have the flattering promises of a foreign market, opened by the operations of free trade, vanished into thin air, and the larmersof Ohio are thoroughly convinced lhat the uniform, legitimate and regular demands of a home mnrket, are a much surer reliance than the uncertain and fitful wuuts created by a fmiiiue iu a foreign land. As to Finances. This great State has placed her finances in the most creditable and satisfactory position. I was informed by the Auditor uf State, at Columbus, that after p'.ymg the interest on her entire debl, and defraying I be expenses of Ihe Government, there would be at the end of Ihe fiscal year a surplus application to the debt iUelf of nearly half a million of dollars. The value of the obligations of the Slate may be estimated by this tiict. The debt of the Slate was reduced about the same amount during ihe last fiscal year To winvu and to what are these results allribululde ? To the Whigs, and to their financial policy, which they, and they only, have had Ihe wisdom lo conceive, and ihe firmness to execute. And while the whole Whig parly f Ihe Stole merit the honor of tuttniiUHg the measure, yet it is lo the firmness, the sagacity, snd miHineh.ng nerve of one man that the credit is due, of giving it legislative form and practical operation, even atfutnxt the fears and the cautious uf many equally honest but mure fund coadjutors. As he would moHt surely have reaped the odium ol the measure had it proved a failvre, so now that it has not, let Alfred Kelley receive tin honor. fi I'ttlman qui nrruit fernt." As io Politics Tnylor Mill undoubtedly carry the electoral vote of Ohio. The Locofoco party in Ohio has assumed a most during course and disorganizing position in reference to State politics. The leaders have evidently progressed to rapidly for the slower movement of the mnxses. Tliey have assumed a position which the people of tins (real Slate will not only not sustain, but which they wi.l emuhalicallv condrmn. Thu odium of this projitt lilu (he poisoned shirt of Nessus, cannot be sunken ntt They expect to be overthrown in the State eleclnu, by ten tlmiuniiil ma-jonty. The Whigs count on tMeiily thousand. Now, it it is not surprising that the Mexicans did not rally, after the defeat at Ifiieiia Visit, and overthrow and capture Taylor and his victoriois army, so it would be past all comprehension, if the great Whig pnrty of Ohm, alter achieving an equally glorious victory in October, shall surrender to Lorfi.coinm in November. The Whigs of Ohio never have, and never will " surrender " But independently of all this, Taylor begins to be known and appreciated by the Whigs of Ohio, and what is equally to the point, Cuss is almntij kitottn, and is fully appreciated in Ohio. There are men now living who roomed wilh (.'ass, at the esl of government in Ohio, when that room was the headquarters of the old fedrral party, and a gentleman of the highest character, tlu-u a citizen of Ohio, but now and siiich a citizen, and for many years a member of the Legislature of Virginia, relates the circumstance of Cass, the late Charles Hammond and himself, all young and ardent politicians, uniting to elect a prominent federalist to the Supreme Bench uf Ohio. They were not members of the Legislature, but writ Ihere as lobby-members, and their room wiu then emphatically the headquarters of the " federal clique." Now it is not so much for his quondam federalism, as his pliant prin-ciples, 1 li.it Cass is here helJ in such utter contempt. An honest, coimis'ent, independent federalist, such an one as Charles Hammond Im-d and died, the people of Ohio will resjwcl, even if tls y do not support in politics. But Ihe wolf in sheep cloth in, the federalist in heart, in principle, in association, iu development, (King arid Court,) and (he D -mocrat by transmutalinu, tiy conversion, by profession, they utterly despise. The character ofCnss is so well understood in Ohio, that whilst some of his old associates admit that he has " stooped to conquer," they think he would he conservative in ojftrx.

Cass a Federal Editor A letter from Ntt-ubenvillc, Ohio, to Ihe editor of the Philadelphia News, his the following scrap concerning the early hUtory of Lewis Cass, Ihu Locofoco candidate for the Piesidency : An old pioneer now near seventy years of age-gave me a leaf frem an unpublished history to read the oilier eveiiiug. It runs thus: At the beginning uf Ihe present century, a couple of very respect tide young men established a paper in Marietta, Washington county, Ohm, The senior editor was an adventurer from New Hampshirethe junior from another ol the New Hnglaud Stales. The senior editor's father was a New llampshne Federalist ; and therefore, il is not at all strange that the son gave the newspsp'-r a strong federal bins. Indeed, he wai so active in the Federal cause thai his party friends ran hnn for the Legmlsture in opposition to s young Kepuhlican named WooUtinuge, wtio has since Iteen a distinguished Whig Senator in Congress from Michigan. But the young Federalist was defeated, and the Republican Was sent up lo the onpitol, Chiilicolhe, as the Representative to the General Axseinbly, The editor's ruling passion, however, wsa nllice ; and when Jefferson was securely placed in power, this ambitious young gentleman abandoned the fsiih nf his fathers, and sgld Ins principles fr thu nlfice of Marshal of the Stale of Ohio.

Alt. Vernon Trua Whig. A new paper bearing the above title, is announced lobe plblished in Mt Vernon, the first number of which is to be issued on Wednesday of next week. it is to be edited by J. S. Davis, Eiq , and published by KrHAN Ai.i.en Hiooins, who was formerly employed in this office, and is an industrious and fmthful mechanic. The True It'hijr will be truly, thorough ly and umlisguisedly Whig "and 44 will at all times advocate the election of the nominees of thu Whig Nominating Conventions, both Slate and National. The Hag of Tayi.oii, Fii.lmohk snd Fonn shall float at its must-bead, and it will do battle in theii behalf with might and main." Success to its efforts! A Question, If by some unforeseen combination of events, Mar tin Van Uuren had been the nominee of Km Whig National Convenlion at Philadelphia, is there a Whig iu the Union who would willingly have come to his support? Who would not have questioned his Whig-gery? Who would not inquired by what means he became so suddenly m.bued with ihe principles of our parly? Who would nol have feared the genuineness ol his new born zeal in the support of measures against which his whole life has been one continued, unrelent ing warfare t Who would not have doubted the sin-eerity of his late conversion lo Free Soil and Free Territory principles ? There is no Whig in Ihe United States who would nol have turned wilh contempt from the man who pro posed to hnn in seriousness the name of Martin Van Huren, as one to be holden before llieeycsof his par ty as the advocate of Whig doctrines, the exemplar of Wing principles, and the impersonificatmn of Whig measures and interests. He would instantly have felt that in supporting such a candidate, he ceased to be any longer a Whig. He would have pointed in scorn to his uniform and disgraceful subserviency to party tor thu sake or power. Hh would have recilet' the wrongs which he bad inflicted upon the North, in or der to conciliate Ihe tyrannical and clamorous South 44 The Northern nun with Southern principles," would have found no favor at h.s hands, and he would have declared the m agician of (he Locnfocos might play his Iricks of legerdemain upon the men of his own party, hul that the Whigs were above and beyond his influ ence. Had Mr. Van Buren been proposed to the Whigs as their candidate, no elaborate declaration of principle, noaiuJicd advocacy of particular acts or measures would hove been able to transfer the confidence of the party to a man so habitually treacherous, to a politician so notoriously venal and profligate. His half a century of political charletantsm would have been conclu sive against his hopes its history would have forever sellled Ins pretensions. And yet there are Whigs at least there are men who claim to be whigs who are indignant if their right to a high place in the ranks of the party isques-huin-il wm cliiim the position of standard bearers, leaders, trumpet blowers, in the Whig army whose voices are lud when all goes well, and whose breath is always liberally expended in aid of a favorable breeze. who now turning their f-eble rams horns against the Jericho of Whiggery, and against its candidate, profess to nnu in AI-trhn Van Uuren all those political qusli. ties which they desire, and that full development of wing principles Tor which, as they say, their eyes have been longing until watch worn and weary they despair ed of its existence. To such, Martin Van Buren is a Whig. To deem him otherwise is to doubt their Whiggery. And yol there are some who will bo startled at the announce, ment that that gentleman has so far approximated to Ins previous and natural political antipodes as to ad-mil of the worship of men who, while Ihey fall before him, claim a proud position in the Wing parly, and ring ibeir anathemas against all who doubt their right lo Whig place and honors, und not only so but w ho ci. communicate, with all the form and cereuiunies of in. tense malediction, every one who does not see fit to abandon Ins own church and join Ihein in their idolatry.Home of these Whigs however, sre beginning to feel excessively uiicomfi.rliihlc al this Ibeir position. The pf me iv eiiiiions, WHO sioou Willi one loot Up- pon the sea and another upon Ihe Und, was a mighty angel, and was, no doubt, constituted with reference to remarkable an achievement ; but the stride between Whiggery and Van Buren, is wider still, and the Whig that attempts it will, to insure his success, require a capacity of extension greater than any authentically recorded in sacred writ or profane history.

We go for no dictatorships. We advocate no one man power. We admire nol Ihe friends of a veto, and love not him who would place in the hands of a single individual Ihe power to plunge ihe counlry into a war. , In all these things, wo dilfer from Ihe Statesman, and wo aro content to dittor; and as for this paper avowing a want of confidence in llio people, the man who penned Ihe charge wrote a deliberate falsehood. QT The Statesman says of Gen. Taylor 41 He will lind it harder work to succeed when fighting at the head nf the Meiican Whig party, lhan when ballling against their allies on the Rio Urande." The model heroes uf Ihe Statesman are Cass and Weller Ihe fir si of whom broke Ins sword at the first convenient opportunity, while the (alter preferred the plunder nf ihe public funds at home to the precarious spoils of an enemy s country, whrre Are arms were carelessly used, and the copper bullets lie w uncomfortably thick . The Kditor of the Statesman sympathises with the exploits of such warriors, for although he has gained some reputation for heroism, by a propensity to commit assault and battery upon smaller men than himself, still we always deemed Ins natural tastes far bet-ter qualified by an opportunity to accumulate a few quires of broken paper lo add to his pile, or some loose odd snd end of government eggs or olUcial pigs and chickens. Whether General Taylor will have harder or easier work to beat the flocks of plunderers that caw and croak around the Capital, we look upon it as certain that he will heal them, for where was his bravery, Ins generalship, or his fortune ever al fault t Hejoction of the Compromise Hill. The following is the vote in the House uf Representatives, on the question of laying upon the table the Senate bill establishing Territorial Governments in Oregon, California, and New Mexico. The bill waa laid upon the table, and clinched. It can only be taken up by a vote of two-tbirds. Of course the bill is lost. A strong disposition is thereby manifested to resist all ' compromises" by which any more Slates shall be added to this Republic, any portion of whose inhabitants are slaves. Ibis is a consummation at which we greatly rejoice, and hnvo no question hut al every succeeding expression of llio public will on thin question, the opposition to the extension of slavery will be more emphatic.

Objections to th Validity of the Apportionment Lair Last week we gave our readers the volume and page wlmro the new apportionment law could be found We also traced the history of its pntotage through both Houses of the Ohio Legislature. We save dule and page lor every inuterial fact. We thought then, au! think now, lhat (he argument is conclusive. we propose this week In examine the objeclions l the validity of Ihe law. Wo shall stale those objee lions as we have heard them and as they appear in protest entered on the Journals of the House, pag. I:)U, and signed by K. D Potter, and all, or nearly e the Locolocos in the lower branch. We ask a olw scrutiny of our course of art-uniem. We invite a dis ciiaaion upon this point. Luterlaming the fullest ami firmest convictions that we are "ric-hi-." vet wi will cheerfully surrender if any one can pursuade us wi are wrong. We have a common interest with ah other good citizens in the purity and good faith of aM official and legislative acts. , our nrst inquiry will be, what is necessary to pass n law. Now thu manner of uassiuir Jaws depends ver. much upon the body that enacts them. They hav the power and right to prescribe their own mode. In Ohio the Legislaiure bus an entire control over th mode, restricted only by the constitution ot the State we win utn luoa at the constitutional provisions. Art. 1. Sec. I, of tins instrument provides thai. the Legislative authority of this State shall be vesteii in a General Assembly, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives, both to be elected bj 11. a o ' Seu II, provides that "each House mav deter mine the rules of ils proceedings," &o. Sec. 10', provides lhat " bills may originate in either House, but may bo altered, amended, or rejected b. the other." Sec. 17, provides that "evcrv bill shall be read mi three different days in each House, unless in case o ui gency three-fourths of such House where such bib is depending shall deem il exuedient In dome me unll this rule j and every bill having passrd both House shall be si giu-d by Ihe Speakers of the respectiv. These are ALL llicconstitutonal orovtsions tbatet ist upon the sutijecl ; all else that is necessary to pit hp laws rests in the discretion of that body. To giiid-and control that discretion each oody adopts a system of rules for their own convenience ai d use. At tie-last session the House had a set of rules lhat may b-found on Uie .Jlhii pug,, f the reports attached to ti,. House Journal. The Senate rules msv be found on the Itt lu'tli page, of reports, &lb , attach- d lo the Seuah Journal. I he joint rules thai govern both bodies im mediately follow the uiher rules. We ask that these rules be carefully read and con sidered. We auk lhat the Constitution be carefully examined. We have dime all (his with a desire to arrive at the Irulh. We have carefully read over these rules. We now slate, and we do it with the lull, at knowledge of our position, that NOT A CLAUSh OF THE CuNSI'l I'UTlON.OR A RULK OF LI THLR liOUSK WAS VIOLATED in the passagt ol the apportionment It. n mir last chapter we set iorlb its piissage step by slep. We here point lo the pnges-m section ol the constitution and rules. II we are wrong, lei some ingenious Locofoco point it out Leave off tins eternal system of ffeneraliiinir. and de scend to particulars. Tell us what clause of the Con stiluliou was violated, what rule of the House was trampled upon. Or if this cannot lie done, then let us hear no more about the act being iNO LAW. Was it noi reau inree several tunes ami on three several days in encn iiouse r do say llie Jonrn Us. Was tl not signed by the Speakers.' So say the Journals. Then ah the constitutional requirements are complied with. Was it not regularly PASSED in each branch? So say the Journals. Was not ihe only question in dispute the amendments of the House to the bill t This was all. Did not the House by resolution RECEDE from all the amendments in dispute? Certainly. Then what was there more in dispute about the bill ? Nothing. If then, nothing more remained for either House to do with it, and it was re nor led as correctly enrolh-d and signed by the Speakers, wtiat more was necessary to make it a law f Nothing. It then IS A LAW as much aa anv olher law of the last or snv oth er session. No sophistry, no bluster, no assurance and luuu ana long talk can alter tins " fixed fact." But says E. D. Potter and the other protestors ol (he House, 44 the bill was not in the possession of the House," and therefore the House could not act upon it. This is mere sophislrv. The House did nol bv iu act ALTER any feature ot the law." They pro. posed no change in the law. They did no set that required the concurrence of ihe Senate or snv arliuti of that body, 'i hey simply said 4 we wiihdisw oui amendments, and consent that Ihe bill may stand as it a. true, the bill was not bctore the House. Bui pray where is the clause m the constitution or the rule of the House thai reuuires il there in any case of the kind much less undvr the very extraordinary situation of affairs arising from the conduct of the lo Senators at INu IS, American Hotel It don't exist. The ob jection then is not substantial Hut, says the Protest, 'the Home did not know but lhat the Senate bad concurred in their amendments. true, they bad received no formal message of that fact but every man in Ohio knew Ihey had not lor the good raw.,, ,u r, i me oergeani-ai-A mis ot the Senate could not get a quorum of thai body fur ft days, and that too to act on this identical subiert. to wit. the House amendments.

If they had, then there waa nothing more for (he House to do, and the hill was a f.iie, with Ihe nouse stuoudineule a pari of thai law. The act of the House by their rest du inn receding would have come loo late. Il would have been s nullity. Il would have been like backing not ol an ode where the olher par. ly had taken you up ot your own offer. It would nave oeen too iuf. nut u the other party had ni agreed to your terms it would certamly be compcu-iii to ttukilraw those ler ins. Again, says the protest: 41 We object to Ibis mode of h-gislaiiiig iu a deliberative body by which a In, I al lecling the iiilereaUol the whole people is dispose. ! of, and attempted to be passed into a law by a imi resolution uf the Home." Now tins is sll gammon ' No such thing was done ; no such thing was proposed Pile bill had been passed, by each body in the n-gul r lorm. No further vole in any event would have been taken upon the hill. Mr. Potter knows this, and km-u it when he wrote Ibis protest. W hy then, does he lal . of passing a bill by a resolution ol the llousei V e can see no motive but to eundeavur to give countenance to the abominable conspiracy against the Stale that so infamously marked the Course of the leadeis of Locofocuism m Ohm. VVe again slate thai it was ihe object of the resolution simply to wiMuYaw amendments that they themselves had proosed. Such are the objections urged to the validity of this act. Are they sound i Are they made in good faith ? Are they anything more than the insane ravings of a set of traitors who were filled in iheir attempt to overturn the government of the Slate uf Ohm, and plunge us into chaos f We view it in no other light We like to have charity when we can. Hut we cannot blink the plain lacls. These men did attempt to destroy our government. The men lhat have signed this protest declare that the) should have 14 absquatulated ' from Ihe House snd gone t. No. rt, American Hotel, or some other hole, if ihey hid not been taken by sur prise by tho resolution that passed the House. And ihese are the men who feel so deeply for the houor and integrity of legislation ! These men quake and tremble in their shoes when they think how much the character of our State is likely to sutler by such hasty legislation.- v as there ever such arrant hypocrisy f Thev went willing and snxious to tumble tins fair fabric of our government into ruins at once if Ihe majority wouid noi yield to inem tne minority, and pass such s law as lh"V might dictate. But Ihey are horror struck ; they hold up their hands iu dismay, and cry aloud their terrible (ears for Ihe perpetuity uf our institutions when Ihe Whigs found a way to thwart their treason, and preserve the integrity and exiitci.ee of the government. If there wero ever a set of men doomed by their own mad acts to undying infamy, it is the men who plotted and saiicliuncd the treason at Columbus last winter. t is vain to urge that an act that is on Ihe statute book is not a law, because every rule of the body has not been complied with in its passage. Such breach of rules may be as they are objectionable. They ex pose those win break them to censure. But they can in nu respect all'i-cl Ihe 44 validity "of the law. Such a construction would be destructive of all certainty of legislation. Who ever heard of a plea to the validity of a law, that some rule uf the House had been violated iu its passage f Did any lawyer ever think nf such a thing ? Curlainly not. It was left to the Donkey Convention and their donkey advisers lo discover this. The idea is worthy the men, and ihe men are worthy the idea, We conclude tins chapter by recapitulating our pro. positions. I. i nai tne inw or apportionment was passea in strict cout'oiunly to the provisions of the Constitution of Olno. VI That m its passage no rule lhat governed the Legislature was violated in any respect Whatever. U. That the objeclions lhat are urged against the validity nl the law are unsound, frivolous and lals-, ai d in no respect fortify the position taken by the hist i solution of the Dorr Cuuvvuibn of May ll).
